Angel Investing Resources

AngelList is where the world meets startups. Investors: invest in early-stage startups. Startups: find team members, angel investors and venture capital.

Angel investors (high net-worth individuals) represent an essential source of funding for early stage, high-risk ventures. Angel investors are estimated to provide 90% of all seed and start-up capital, while the venture capital community provides less than 2% of start-up financing.
